Time to rejoice and celebrate! My stuff to sort folder has finally been sorted. Hurrah!

This mean that all my notes are now on computer in one form or another and subsequently being backed up.

Also all my original documents, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, which I am not throwing away have been scanned and are being safely backed up to.

It was back on the August 2009 that I first decided that I needed to get my filing sorted out. Nearly four months later I have finished sorting the paper side of things.

Now I need to start on my hard drive. A directory of folders on my hard drive is nowhere near as daunting as a physical folder of paper, and to be honest there is no rush to my digital folders organised.

They are not going to get lost or destroyed (famous last words) and they are not going to get in the way because they don’t take up too much space.

There are however two things I would like to do now in terms of organising:

I need to come up with some standardisation for my file and folder names, and stick to it.

Go through my Reference Material folder and see if there is anything I actually need to keep in there. I suspect not.
